The More Noise the Better.

There is n popularity about the pleas
ants which probably does not apply to any
to any other bird or animal on the globe;
and this is the fact that no hunter was
ever able, under any conceivable circum-
stances, to surprise one or get within gun
shot of him without being observed. The
writer has tried the experiment frequent
ly, but never succeeded. The only way TO
get near enough to a pheasant to shoot
him is to make all the noise possible. In
this way the bird can be approached as
nearly n desired, but the moment the
hunter stops the bird has flown with such
rapidity that it seems to have been fired
from a howitzer. Indeed, instances are
frequent where they have flown with
such velocity as to dash themselves to
death against trees in their oute.-Balti-

Stalking out His Claim.

A slim young man was perched on u
stool in one of the large restaurants near
The Tribune building ~devouring n straw
berry dumping. The capacity of the res
taurant was not sufficient for the rush of
customers, and behind the fortunate pos
SCISSORS of stools formed another line of
hungry candidates glaring over the Shout
ders of the eaters and watching each
mouthful disappear. Behind the slim
young man, however, four hungry eyes
watched the vanishing fragments of straw
berry dumping. There were two con-
testants for the seat-a corpulent old per-
son in spectacles and a tall man with u
silk hat.
The slim young a completing his
lunch, climbed down from his perch, and
the corpulent watcher, with great activ-
ity, began TO climb up.
Hold on" said the other candidate,
grufiy.
"What fori"
Because, sir, 1 have a right to the seat.
l was here, sir, when that young man
began to eat his dumping. Perhaps
added the tall man scornfully, ''you think
that l have been standing here just to
count how many mouthfuls there are in q
strawberry dumping"
The elderly man laid his hand on the
stool and said, with the confident air of
one who holds four aces: ~ am very
sorry, sir, but you really have no claim at
all. l was here when this young man
was unable to decide whether he wanted
a strawberry dumping or custard pie"
And then the corpulent old man, having
"seen' the tall man and gone him one
better, climbed upon the stool, and his
rival moved sadly along to stake out IN
other claim on n man who had just or,
dered fish balls with tomato sauce.-Chi-

NoMAps OF AsIATIc RUSSIA.
A Strange Contrast of Dietary Customs
Food of the GIlyaks.

Food OF the Gllyaks-
AS regards the food of the aboriginals
Of Asiatic Russia, vegetarianism cannot
be said to have made much Roadway
among the nomads, whether in Siberia or
Turkistan. Deprived for so many months
Of the year by snow Of the sight of any
thing green, when the Siberians kill n
reindeer they carefully empty its stomach
Of the undigested moss the animal has
eaten, Inc serve that up as a delicacy,
but in winter they get little vegetable
food besides. Even with nOmads of the
Steppe, what flour food they eat is taken
chiefly in the form of cruel. 1t struck
me as a strange contrast of dietary Gus
toms when the archbishop of Vernoye in
formed me that they intended to send
monks as missionaries of the Russian
church to the Buruti or Kara-Kirghesse,
for the Russian monks eat no meat, and
the Buruti eat no bread, so they proposed
to cut the knot by planting a station on
the shores of Lake Issik-Kul, where the
holy men could feed on fish.
The Kirghese of the Steppe live in the
summer almost entirely on milk, variously
prepared, whilst the rich eat of mutton
AS their staple food, with the addition of
beef, and occasionally camel's flesh. In
the north the Yakutes are fond of horse
flesh. A Yakute bride on her wedding
day sets before her lord and master as the
greatest of delicacies horseflesh sausages,
with a boiled horse's head, of which the
brains are the most dainty morsel. The
quantity, too, of horseflesh they eat is APP
palling. Their adage says that 'to eat
much meat N grow fat upon it is the
highest destiny of man." 1 myself was
not present at one of their orgies, but as
far back a the days of S~trahlenberg it
was said that four Yakutes would eat a
horse.
Once more the Gilyaks exist on a very
different kin of food, for they are almost
i~chthyophagi, salmon being their principal
diet. This fish comes up the Amur in
such numbers that they can be tossed out
with n pitchfork. Even the dogs go into
the stream and catch for themselves, and
salmon such as the finest seen in London
may be purchased in the season among
the Gilyaks for n penny each. The fish,
cut up and dried, without further cook
ing, are eaten, a piece of similar size per
day serving alike for the Gilyak and one
of his dogs. l went to the lower Amur
disposed to onflde in the theory that fish
diet, by reason of its phosphorus, was cal
culated to give brain power to students,
but after seeing the miserable specimens
Of humanity in the Gilyaks who live on
fish, my belief in this theory has been
rudely shaken.-Henry Lansdell, d. D.,
in Harper's Magazine.

A little water works marvels in this

A company which will transmit reliable
and valuable information to the cmigrant

long been needed in Cheyenne and Wyom-
ing and we have reasons to believe hat
an organization of this kind will soon be
effected. Its value in advertising and
populating the territory can readily be

The disreputable old procuress Madame
Helen Jenkins Of hat is her nance, is at
last aroused to the belief that what she
is pleased TO call her character las been
detained by THE LEADER. Her attorney
was engaged yesterday in making prepar-
atoms to institute two suits, one for
criminal libel against the editor of THE
LEADER and the other a civil action for
damages against the paper itself.
1t is understood that the gentle Helen
land her attorney is prepared to admit
that everything asserted in this paper
regarding her is rue with the single ex-
ception that she has led pure young
women from the path of rectitude. She
draws the line right there, and asserts
that through the publication of this
statement her character has been damaged
to the extent of 'steen dollars, not to men
ton the cents. 1t seems, therefore, this
haggish old pelican is prepared TO admit
that for n score of years past she has
acted as a procuress; that she has pan
dered to the most degraded human in
%stincts; that she has maintained disrepu-
table houses and defrauded the female
inmates out of their earnings; that she
has amassed money through means that
forever place her beyond the pale of civ
ilized society. She admits all these
things and still has the monumental
effrontery to assert that her character
(God save the mark y could be damaged
by even the most scathing denunciation
that human brain could conceive or hui
man tongue could utter. With the
Bowery poets we are tempted to exclaim
Rats ~
Speaking of libel suits, we wish to say
right here, that so far as Madame Jen-
kins is concerned, she cannot begin pro-
ceedings too quickly to suit THE LEADER.
Such prosecutions have no terrors for us,
for we know we are right in this matter,
and that she has too long polluted this
community with her presence. So as to
avoid any misunderstanding, we wish to
say now that we reiterate with redoubled
emphasls everything we nave hlInerVo
asserted regarding this old harridan. If
we knew of stronger terms in which to
express them we would give them here,
but we frankly acknowledge to the public
our inability to do the subject complete
Justice.
Madame jenkins now has our permis.
sion to trot out her libel suits, and il we
fail in the meantime to make it highly
entertaining for the ancient beldame our
readers may indulge in a general boycott.

BADLY NEEDED ORGANIZATION.

What Cheyenne and Wyoming terri
tory need more than anything else lust
now is a society or organization to furnish
information about this section to people
who are seeking for 1t. The governor,
secretary, postmaster, the newspapers
and private individuals are daily in re-
ceipt of inquiries from all parts Of the
country. People want to know to what
uses the soil is best adapted, whether
some specified branch of industry would
have a legitimate field, upon what terms
land can be secured, and a thousand and
one other practical questions which they
can have readily answered in other states
aud territories, but not here. All of the
officials named do everything in their
power to furnish information asked for,
but the required data is not readily
reached, and it is impossible to furnish it
in compact form. The necessity OF a
bureau of information or a colonization
society has long been felt, and a stage has
now been reached when something of the
sort is absolutely necessary.
Some people may be surprised at the
assertion that within less than three years
Laramie county will contain many valu-
abe farms. The fact of the matter is that
the possibilities of irrigation are not yet
generally appreciated in Wyoming.
People hear every once in a while about
remarkable crops being raised, but they
are engrossed in other directions and give
the matter little heed. Up about Lusk
wonderful things are being done in the
agricultural way. The Wyoming Devel.
opment company has the water to irrigate
the land for an immense colony, and out
at Horse creek the Gordon Ditch com
pany has spent over $4,000 in a system
Of canals that furnish an unfailing water
supply. Many smaller ventures of the
kind are under way and sod crops of
grain are being raised with wonderful
success
Speaking yesterday with Richard
Clarkson of the Des Moines Register, he
asserted that the result OF irrigation in
the vicinity of Cheyenne is simply phe.
nomenal. A few minutes before he had
seen a garden full of flowers which for
beauty and vividness of colors were un.

Glass may be cut under water with
great ease, to almost any shape, with a
pair of shears or strong scissors. Two
things are necessary for success. First,
the glass must be kept quite level in the
water while the scissors are applied; and
secondly, to avoid risk, it is better to
perform the cutting by taking off small
pieces at the corners and along the edges,
and to reduce the shape gradually to
that required. The softer glasses cut the
best, and the scissors need not be very
sharp.-London Pottery Gazette.

THAT ELECTION PAPER.
Alexandria Town Talk.


Gen. Win. A. Strong has arrived in
Baton Rouge. His trial has been set for
Friday, April Ssh. 1t will be Ienem-
hered that Strong asked that four OF
five prominent politicians from nearly
every parish III the State, be sum
mnnrd ~ witnesses III his behalf,
Strong claiming that these parties
owtd him tor election ticket paper. Az
nearly all these gentlemen have pub
licly denied owing Strong cent, it
looks like he will have to try some
other game.
We may be mistaken but are of the
opinion that the "chiefs'' told Strong
to have thousands of tickets circulated
throughout the parishes with the
amendments to the constitution printed
on same. They wanted the interest on
State bonds increased. This amend
ment in regard to interest on bonds
received only two or three votes in
this parish, nor do we believe that it
was carried by IL square vote in the
State. However. it Is our belief that
Strong USED up the election paper he is
accused of stealing, in the manner
and if SO he should come ont
and tell who requested him to do it.
From 10000 TO 10000 tickets were sent
to Rapldts parish alone.
